Pidyon Kapparot: Redeeming of Atonement
The tradition of Pidyon Kapparot teaches us that genuine atonement extends beyond personal reflection, it calls us to actively support the well-being of others. In times of challenge, the power of giving becomes even more significant.
The text below is said three times prior to giving the Pidyon Kapparot:
This is my exchange; this is my substitute; this is my atonement. This money will go to charity, and I will go to a good and long life and peace.
